Would your Scout(s) like the opportunity to walk in Monday's Memorial Day Parade in Sun Prairie? We will be marching with Scouts from our Pack and other Packs.
Please remind your Scout of the importance of excellent behavior during the parade, in order to show respect for the sacrifices made by veterans and their families. If you would like more information on the meaning of Memorial Day and ways to observe it, please see below for several links. Additionally, older Scouts and their families may wish to consider attending the ceremony that follows the parade, held at the Memorial Statue on S Walker Way (which is very near to where the parade ends).
If you can join us, please come dressed in your uniforms and walking shoes, and meet at 9:00 a.m. in the parking lot of the Cardinal Heights Middle School (it used to be the high school). Go to the parking lot near the football fields / YMCA (see red circle in the picture below). The parade does not start until 10:00, but the organizers have asked us to appear at 9:00.
NOTE: It might be HOT, dress and prepare accordingly, including sunscreen and water if needed. The current forecast calls for a Sunday night low of 60 degrees, but for Monday partly sunny and a high temperature of 85 degrees! According to Google, the parade route is approximately 1.7 miles long (It starts at the school, then west on Main St., turns left on Walker Way, and ends near the Sun Prairie Public Library).
Thanks, and have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!
